OUR STORE

Hillmanian archetypal psychotherapy is a psychological and psychotherapeutic approach founded by James Hillman, a post-Jungian psychologist. This school of thought is based on the analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung, but it diverges significantly in some fundamental aspects.

Key Principles of Hillmanian Archetypal Psychotherapy:

* Psyche as Soul: Hillman places central emphasis on the concept of soul (in ancient Greek psyché) as the primary reality of psychic life. The soul is not seen as an entity separate from the body or the world, but as the inner, imaginative, and emotional dimension of experience. Archetypal psychotherapy aims to "care for the soul" rather than "cure the mind."

* Archetypes as Imaginal Forces: Like Jung, Hillman recognizes the importance of archetypes, but considers them primarily as imaginal models or forces that shape our psychic experience and manifest through images, myths, dreams, and symptoms. Unlike Jung, who saw archetypes as innate structures of the collective unconscious, Hillman considers them more as ways of seeing or perspectives through which the soul expresses itself.

* Psychological Polytheism: Hillman adopts a polytheistic perspective of the psyche, seeing the psyche as populated by a multiplicity of inner "gods" and "goddesses," that is, different archetypal forces that influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This perspective relativizes the importance of the Ego and recognizes the complexity and multiplicity of psychic life.

* Importance of Imagination: Imagination is considered the primary place of the soul and the main means through which archetypes manifest. Archetypal psychotherapy values the exploration of dream images, fantasies, and myths as pathways to understanding the soul.

* Pathologizing as the "Call of the Soul": Instead of considering psychological symptoms as something to be eliminated, archetypal psychotherapy often sees them as expressions or messages from the soul seeking attention and understanding. Pathology can be seen as a way in which the soul makes itself felt or as an attempt to bring neglected aspects of the psyche to light.

* Decentering of the Ego: Unlike many psychologies that place the Ego at the center, archetypal psychotherapy decentralizes the Ego, considering it only one of the many figures that populate the psychic landscape. The goal is not to strengthen the Ego, but rather to develop an awareness of the broader psychic dynamic.

* Relevance of Myth and Culture: Archetypal psychotherapy draws extensively on myths, fairy tales, art, and culture to understand the archetypal patterns underlying human experience. These stories are seen as collective expressions of the dynamics of the soul.

* "Soul-Making": The goal of therapy is not so much healing in the traditional sense, but "soul-making," a continuous process of deepening the relationship with one's inner world, recognizing and valuing the different voices of the psyche.

Techniques in Hillmanian Archetypal Psychotherapy:

* Imaginative Exploration: Encouraging the patient to get in touch with their inner images through active imagination, guided dreaming, or visualization.

* Archetypal Amplification: Exploring the images and themes that emerge through references to myths, fairy tales, art, and cultural symbols to broaden the understanding of their archetypal meaning.

* Dream Work: Analysis of dreams as manifestations of the dynamics of the soul and archetypal patterns.

* Personification: Giving voice and form to the different figures that emerge in the psyche (complexes, archetypes) to understand their motivations and needs.

* "Seeing Through" Pathologies: Instead of focusing on eliminating symptoms, exploring their potential meaning as expressions of the soul.

Goals of Hillmanian Archetypal Psychotherapy:

* Deepen the relationship with one's own soul.

* Recognize and value the complexity and multiplicity of the psyche.

* Understand the archetypal patterns that influence one's life.

* Find meaning and purpose through the exploration of the inner world.

* Develop greater awareness of psychic dynamics and the messages of the soul.

* "Soul-making" through engagement with imagination and the inner world.

In summary, Hillmanian archetypal psychotherapy offers a unique perspective on the human psyche, privileging the soul, imagination, and the recognition of the multiple archetypal forces that shape it. It is an approach that invites a deep exploration of the inner world and the search for meaning through the lens of myth and image.
